Sprattoo, I was wondering if/when anyone actually read the article. I
still can't figure out how my "signature" became such a hot topic....
Especially since the sig dosen't mention any particular country of
origin. ...
LOL !! The old "Well, who says I'm talking about Latinos ?" dodge.
That's the same excuse the other anonymous bigot tried to trot out.
Is there some sort of Anonymous Bigots Handbook you guys consult ?
Hey Ken,
The only people that I am "bigoted" against are those with closed
minds. I have ZERO problem with folks coming to this great country of
ours, from anyplace in the world, as long as they do it as my
ancestors did - Legally. If the government were to change the laws
that made it legal for anyone that manages to get inside our borders
to stay here, then I would have no problem. But until that time,
ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL .... no different than crack dealers or the guy
that wants to fish the Gallatin or Madison with ANFO, Semtex charges
or a gill-net.
There is a *huge* difference between undocumented workers
who are encouraged by unscrupulous Americans to come here
and harvest our crops, build our homes, work in our canning
factories
Um, Ken, unless your lifestyle has changed _considerably_ in the last,
oh, few hours or so, much of your consumption encourages "undocumented
workers" (who, by-the-by, are mostly "Americans," too...) to come to the
US.
and a crack dealer.
Depends on what you are using for comparison. If it's simply being
guilty of knowingly breaking the law, then nope, there's no difference
whatsoever.
And you and I both know that the undocumented workers you're
talking about are Hispanic.
That may be what he is talking about, but you need to look up what
"Hispanic" means. For example, I'm "Hispanic" and yet, AFAIK, I stand
absolutely no chance of being an "undocumented worker" anywhere in the
Americas or Europe...
That's why your .sig is offensive.
If you want to post offensive slogans you should come up
with one that's a slur against the people who knowingly hire
undocumented workers.
Howsabout "Budweiser drinkers suck worse than the beer" or "Those who
drink amusing little California wines aren't so amusing..." See, Pogo,
when it comes to encouraging "undocu..." **** it, illegal aliens, most
US citizen-consumers are the ultimate source of encouragement of their
coming to the US. And here's the thing - there's nothing wrong with
that...
Until then you're just another anonymous
bigot.
HTH,
